Download Age of Empires - Windows XP/98/95 game

Released in 1997, Age of Empires is what happens when ancient history gets drunk and decides to party. You start in the Stone Age, bashing wild boars and clubbing trees, and before you know it, you’re building temples and flinging catapults. It’s like a time-traveling arms race with priests yelling "Wololo" as your units randomly switch allegiances. Strategic, addictive, and just historical enough to make you feel smarter than you actually are, this RTS classic taught us all the most important rule of empire-building: never underestimate the power of a clicky mouse finger.
